previous, but it was more satisfying to a re-
firing disposition. Outside of this, perhaps
the conditions were much the same. The
pavements were just as hard, the "hasho as
badly cooked, the store-giris just as sweet,
the Exposition as great, and Gilmore's band
just as grand, to US as to the President. a
sojourn of two days made home sweet home
to US, and thither we came flying under the

Some three weeks ago Ed. Farmhouse,
aged about nineteen, was struck on the head
at ten O'Clock at night, near Gays blacksmith
shop, by some party unknown. Ed. was
pretty well stunned for 4 moment, but he
recovered sufficiently to go to his room over
Bishops hardware store. Next morning he
came out very sick boy, began vomiting,
and had to return to his bed. The doctor
was called and gave him his best care, but
for two CT three days the patients recovery
was doubtful. He suffered from conclusion
of the brain. However, he came around all
| right, and for week has been at work, ap-
parently as we'll as eyer. Whether he was
| struck by a stone thrown at him, or by a
club in the hand of the assailant, is not
known, but at all events 1t came near passing
| him through the golden portals. There are
| some "hard cases" in Ironton and vicinity,
and the safest way for respectable young
man is to avoid their hours and their haunts.

Last Friday morning, when the Arcadia
Accommodation was between Irondale and
De Soto, the connecting rod on the driving
wheels of the engine broke about in the
middle. The train was running about
thirty-fiye miles an hour, and the broken
rod whirled in the air with lighting rapidIty.
1t struck engineer Paul on the head render
ing him insensible for q moment, but he re-
~
fireman, turned on the air-brakes and then
jumped off the engine to the ground. He
broke no bones, but sprained his ankle and
is considerably bruised. He and Paul were
unable to go further with the engine, and
returned home to Arcadia. Another engi-
neer and fireman were put on at De Soto,
and Conductor Andrews took the train into
St. Louis less than an hour behind schedule
time. II the broken rod, in its revolutions,
had struck a tie, the engine would have
been overturned and the whole train wreck
ed. So there is cause for congratulation that
the accident had no more serious results,
especially since the injured men are getting
along well and will soon be again fit for
duty.
Last Saturday night, about twelve O'Clock,
a stranger walking ON the railroad track
north of the depot was struck by
a passing train. He was knocked off the
track and flung to the ground, suffering
from several severe Commissions, one in the
head. George Carter, the mail carrier, heard
him grooming, and went to hin: and helped
him to the station house. He lay in a car
Sunday, and DR.. Farrar called and dressed
his wounds. Monday he was removed to
Mrs. Hancock's, near by, at the instance of
Mr.. Adams, station agent. He is pretty
badly bruised, but no bones are broken. He
claims that no signal was given by the engi-
neer of the train, although the crossing was
but few yards distant and between him
and the train. DR.. Farrar would have sent
him to the railroad hospital at st. Louis, but
the officials deny that it is their duty to pro-
| vide for people injured while trespassing,
as this man was at the time the accident &C.
Cured. The patient claims that this is his
third experience of this kind. One would
infer that-unless woefully lacking in reason
he would stick to the overland route''
hereafter.
| The following special to the Missouri Re
| publican, dated at Holden, Mo-, October
| 18th, will be read with sorrow by the people
| of this section. They knew the subject of the
item, and will regard her memory with re-
| spect and affection: Mrs. Matte Williams,
| the Young actress, died at the Talmage house
! in this city at noon to. day. She has been
declining in health for two years. She left
the stage last spring before the close of the
season, completely broken down and has
steadily grown worse up to the time of her
death. The most of the summer was spent
on her husbands ranch in Southern Mis-
souri, Friends made themselves believe she
was getting stronger. That fatal disease,
